Asch only scratched the surface
Priority 1: Self preservation
Priority 2: Reproduce
This is what we are taught, but it's not what I see. People give their lives in the pursuit of acceptance or due to lack of it. Would this not mean that there's a precedence to self preservation? Suicide cults, military, suicide bombers all willing to give their lives. The Asch experiment on conformity proves that we'll sacrifice what we know is right, in order to "fit in". It is my belief that the Asch experiment only scratched the surface of what we will do, in order to be accepted by the ones we wish to emulate.
Priority 1: Acceptance
Priority 2: Self preservation
Priority 3: Reproduce
It doesn't make sense psychologically, but it does explain society much clearer, don't you think?
What does this say about our psychology, our nature, our future, our destiny, our purpose? I am very interested in feedback from those of you, who have an opinion, whether it is in agreement to my post, or the contrary.
